Thats a great en passant check mate you showed Knight attack, but surely nobody would ever move their king out like that so early.

Turns out, the sequence I just showed is only one move longer than the fastest possible en passant mate

The topic of this thread is "What is the fastest possible en passant checkmate?".
The word is "possible", not "reasonable". So, in the construction of this checkmate, any random legal move can be played.
I would have only probably constructed an en passant checkmate in 20 moves. For this thread, I had in mind a situation where en passant is the checkmating move, but the pawn is not the one giving the checkmate - in other words, the en passant move allows the path of a bishop to be open to allow the bishop to give a checkmate.
EDIT: I didn't read all the posts fully and missed the post directly above mine. Mr Freezy has captured my thoughts on this.
1. e4 e6 2. e5 g5 3. Nc3 Ke7 4. Qh5 Nh6 5. Ne4 f5 6. exf6#
I faked a scholars mate for this
